We Can Only Watch

Can you see it in the morning
I can see the smoke rising
Two parties – less choices
Crossfire in our voices
We can get ourselves in it
Can we get ourselves out quick?
More copycat tickets
Artificial competition

The wheels spinning right
The wheels spinning left
The wheels start to lock
We can only watch
We do what we're sold
Choked out by our own
Rivers we could cross
We can only watch

Now we can only watch
Ooh, wo-ow
Ooh, wo-ow

See karma left a present
Now we're eating what we stepped in
Never ending in a held breath
Always wrong guessing what's next
Is the ballot just a wish list
Do we really make a difference?
I've been feeling independent
With the laws you've been breaking

The wheels spinning right
The wheels spinning left
The wheels start to lock
We can only watch
We do what we're sold
Choked out by our own
Rivers we could cross
We can only watch

Now we can only watch
Now we can only watch
Ooh, wo-ow
Ooh, wo-ow

The wheels spinning right
The wheels spinning left
The wheels start to lock
We can only watch
We do what we're sold
Choked out by our own
Rivers we could cross
We can only watch

Now we can only watch
Now we can only watch
Now we can only watch
Now we can only watch
